I have Illustris
I have Illustris. It's currently sleeping for the winter, but once it wakes up, it won't be long until it gets some pups. It produces pups faster than any other EE I've grown, and more of them, too! I'd be glad to share some pups with you if you'd like. Incidentally, I grow...

Oh boy! Me too!
I would love one, too! I love Euphorbia, and I love succulents. How large does it grow for you as a houseplant? Are you looking for anything in particular for trade, or will postage do? :)

Another welcome, Wombat!
Ditto to Gloria's welcome Wombat! Several of us have met you on another forum! Hope you're having an enjoyable summer....and since it's summer down there, I hope you'll share pictures of what you have growing. Perhaps that will help us all get through the rest of this...

You're all so young!
Geez, Gloria! You're making me feel soooooooooooo old! I was a whole one year old then! :eek::p

I don't have any one favorite. As with plants, I've never met a gardening book I didn't like -- or WANT! hehehe :)

I could just DROOL over your greenhouse. If you are interested in going into business, Treva, there are several things you can do. Contact your state Dept. of Agriculture to see if there is any information they can provide you with about becoming a small scale nursery. You will also probably...

Crabbergirl, do you think Cherokee is a good variety to grow in Texas heat? I haven't found a good one yet.....It has to be a variety that will set fruits even when the night time temps don't get cool. My last attempts were disastrous. I can't remember what the varieties were, but they were not...

I've got Illustris too..I have them in a pot, so they're well contained, but they do multiply like rabbits. I also have a black one -- maybe Black Magic, but it hasn't produced pups yet, and I also have one called Portadora, and it also hasn't produced any pups.
I'm in zone 8. I don't cut the...

Lynn, what kind of EE's do you have? I've got several kinds, and I have never trimmed them back even though the frost bit them. I've never had a problem with them coming back although I do go and cut off the dead growth as soon as they start to emerge come spring. The one thing I'd do if I were...

Man do I ever know that VA routine! Sometimes they have my hubby go in for blood work at 7 in the morning, then come back for his actual doctor's appointment at 9 or 9:30. I generally don't go with him...the doctor sends him to mandatory pre-diabetes education classes, of course I go, but with...

I'd like to think it wouldn't take me six tries to get my license, but my hubby refuses to teach me -- or let me drive the car. If someone would teach me and I had a car to take the test in, that would be helpful......I can see why people might think I'd be a mess behind the wheel with...

I don't have a driver's license....never had it! It is one of those things that frustrates me to no end. It makes it impossible to get around because the public transportation here is largely non-existent. I have to rely on my husband. I took driver's ed way back when I was in high school, but...

If you pass them out that freely, Randy, I'll have to work on getting one myself!

Be prepared.
Make sure you add some peat moss and perlite to your soil. Make sure you have a way to check how wet the soil is.....You live in Florida, don't you? I did it in Texas last summer, using the topsy turvey planters. It was soooooooooo hot here that they weren't successful at all...

Thanks!
Good to see you here, too, Lynn! We're practically neighbors, you know! Are you still going to school?
This winter is totally freakish. I keep thinking to myself that my husband and I moved SOUTH from Iowa to get away from that. :eek:
By the way, aren't you a transplanted Yankee...
